Elys Dolan

Elys Dolan is an author and illustrator currently living and working in Cambridge, England. She works predominantly with ink, newfangled digital witchcraft, and colored pencils, of which she is the proud owner of 178 but can never seem to find a sharpener. When not drawing pictures and making things up, Elys enjoys growing cacti, collecting pocket watches, and eating excessive amounts of fondant fancies. Knighthood for Beginners is Elys Dolan’s first young fiction book. Her hilarious picture books have been shortlisted for The Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, and nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal.
